Still the Good Work Goes "a.

Our Christmas sale was roaring sue
cess" Pianos and Organs were sold in
large numbers and distributed all over the
city and country. The rain came down in
torrents, but this, even this, was not enough
to dishearten or deter our tired but willing
delivery force from placing every instru-
ment according to promise. Up to the
''wee sma' hours" they labored faithfully,
satisfied that not one of all the army of
purchasers would wake to disappointment.
Many bright little eye sparkles with de-
light and many a home Is radiant with the
sunbeams of pleasure in consequence
Stockings too small to hold Piano or
Organ were filled to overlooking from our
many other departments.
We have replenshed our Piano and Organ
stock and propose to keep up the good work
until not single home in our city remains
without the refining influences of music.
Pianos, So so weekly; Organs, 81 25
weekly. Monthly or quarterly payments
taken. Quality way up; prices way down.

We Bob Up sererelv.

The week after Christmas to some are
pleasant recollections of the day that has
passed: TO Others painful reminders Of the
night that followed. Our ideas are suf-
ficiently clear and collected to notice
that we have some stock left yet-notori-
ollSly Overcoats. All know that our
sevelet, meanest and rawest winter
weather is still ahead of us, therefore if
you need an Overcoat don't buD till you've
seen us We can give you pointer and a
bargain or so in these comfortable gar
mentS. We can sell you an Overcoat at
just whatever price you want to pay, Civ
ing good value in every case. A few
Smoking Jackets are left, neat present
and useful one at any season.
We have a good many broken suits that
we want to sell at broken prices" also a
large lot of odd garments, a coat here a vest
there, a matchless pair of pants, all our
best and most stylish goods, but we value
their room above their company. Our Fur
nishing Department is yet complete, and the
many articles needed in gentleman's ward
robe can be had of us much under exclusive
FURNISHING storen prices. Those who be-
heve in dressing nicely can suit themselves
from our handsome stock of tailor-fitting
suits at about the cost of insists else
where. No time like the present Slack
trade makes low prices.

ON RAIL AND cRossTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.

A published statement of the number Of
casualties TO passengers, employees and other
persons occurring on the various railways
in Kansas during 1887 shows the following
totals: Passengers killed 3, INJURED A; en-
ployes killed -, injured 9S2; other persons
killed IS, injured n, making a total of a
persons killed and l., l06 injured.
4. NJ. Emerson, General Freight and Pas
senger Agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, has
issued the following circular in regard TO
the Opening of the Florence railroad"
Commencing Dec. 26, 1897, the Florence
railroad will be opened for freight and pas
senger traffic to stations named below, 1t
extends from Pee Dee junction on the VIII
mington, Columbia and Augusta railroad to
Dillon, S. c., distance of eighteen miles.
The stations and the distances from Pee
Dee junction are as follows: Sellers, SIX
miles; Latta, eleven miles; Dillon, eighteen
miles.
The vestibule attachment to cars is con-
sidered SO valuable an Improvement that it
has already got into the courts. A bill was
filed Dec. II in the United States Circuit
Court by the Pullman Palace Car Company
against the Wagner Palace Car Company
aud the Lake Shore railroad to restrain the
infringement of Henry H. Sessions patent
of Nov. Ii, 1886, for vestibule cars The
Improvement consists in movable buffers at
Iue emu Vi JuS CttIS+ IOSelLtI Nhpu nOOuo
connecting the ears so as to make them con-
tinuous The buffers are held by strong
springs, and thus, it is claimed, the jar and
oscillation felt on sudden stoppages or
rounding sharp curves are diminished. The
first train with these improvements was
run last April II is charged that the Wag-
ner company has begun to run vestibule
cars on the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern road, and compliments ask for the usual
injunction and accounting.
The Biographical Directory of the rail-
way officials of America for 1887 is now
ready for delivery. II contains nearly 200
names of general and division railway Off
GERS, with 81 portraits of prominent officials
and comprises over 400 large pages in nom
pareil type, making an immense amount of
interesting and important information
about the careers of the railroad officers of
the country. The alphabetical arrangement
whereby the name, position and address of
each officer can be found at a glance, with
out the necessity of knowing before with
what company he is connected, makes the
book of exceeding value for reference, aside
from the great variety Of personal history
given. The book is very cheap, consider
ing the character and quantity eff informa-
ton, and the cost of obtaining it. Price,
post paid, $500. 1t is got out by the Rail
way Age Publishing Co.

THROUGH THE CITY.
Items Gathered Here and There by the
News Reporters.

Chippewa Tribe No 4, l. o. r. NJ, meets
this evening.
The first car for the Rural Resort Rail
road arrived yesterday.
Oglethorpe Lodge of Odd Fellows will
meet tonight and elect officers.
In spite of the unusual display of fire
works last night there were very few acct
dents reported. The small boy is proof
against bombs and peppers.
Little David Walthour, who was run
over by a Whitaker street horse car on
Sunday and had both of his legs broken,
was still alive last night and there is a
chance that he may recover.
The police made thirty-five arrests for
drunkenness yesterday. It was not a rich
crowd either. All the money the entire
thirty-tlve had was less than $l6 The
most of them didn't have any.
The negroes Yesterday had possession of
the eastern and western suburbs, and nearly
every one seemed bent on getting gloriously
drunk. As rule, however, they were not
disorderly, and that is more than the white
deniZens can say for themselves.
The people living north of Liberty street
are TO be congratulated. They escaped a
great deal of the racket with which the
neighbors south Of that street were afflicted
yesterday. If the rum mills had been
closed, it would have been quiet and re-
spectacle Christmas.
There has been a great Stacking Off in
travel during the past few days. Most PEG
pie try to spend Christmas at home, and
there is less travel at this season than any
other time during the winter. There
fewer arrivals at the hotels yester-
day than there has been since the seasons
travel opened.
The American Minister to Liberia, Taylor,
who was to have delivered a lecture on
Liberia at the Second Baptist church to-
night has found it impossible TO keep the
appointment for the reason, he says, that
urgent business calls him to Atlanta. The
lecture was to have been a free one, and
would no doubt have been entertaining.
Perhaps he will have a chance to give talk
on Liberia at some future day.
Willie Harris, a 10-year old negro boy,
was found on the corner of Tatnall
and Huntingdon streets yesterday morning
in a very strange condition. His legs were
so stiff that it was impossible to bend them,
and he was suffering so that he was removed
to the Georgia Infirmary. He is the boy
who was charged with stealing horse from
DR.. Dupont, and whom Solicitor General
duBignon would not prosecute on account
of his age. 1t is supposed that he has been
sleeping out of doors since his discharge
from jail, and that he took cold in his legs.
A 7-year-old boy named Morrissy was
shot in the head while sitting on the steps
in front of his home on Habersham street
between Wayne and Gordon last night.
He was watching the fireworks in
the square, when bullet fired by somebody
ON the street struck him in the cheek, bed
ding itself in the muscles back of the jaw.
The little fellow was carried into the house,
and DR.. Stone was sent for. He extracted
the bullet and dressed the wound, which,
though painful, is not dangerous. The police
made an investigation, but failed to find
the parties who fired the shot.
